New strategy boosts CPAP use in stroke survivors
NCT ID NCT06029959
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at ways to help people who had a stroke use a CPAP machine for sleep apnea during their rehab stay. Sleep apnea is common after stroke and can slow recovery. The researchers tested different approaches to improve how often patients used the CPAP machine over three months.
